That assumes no supply-side restrictions. With housing in big cities it's often supply-side restrictions that cause the rise, like zoning.

For instance: affordable housing. If there were fewer zoning restrictions on micro-studios, housing developers might be able to pack more units in to get the same amount of profit per sq-ft. Instead zoning means that you get the most $ per sq-ft building luxury apartments.

One thing UBI has over housing vouchers is if it's not tied to location people can live where it's cheaper.
